Amazon AWS
Our company is a startup that is just starting to get wholesale customers. When we realized our customers needed support using our products, we set up a Contact Center via Amazon Connect. It has been very useful in allowing us to scale up very quickly, and provide services to our company as if we were a large corporation.

Usability
Amazon AWS
It is very easy to use for any access level and has greatly facilitated users' ability to properly document tickets without getting lost in short or vague comments. Each case is fully tracked through this transcription of information. This made it easier for us to decide whether to implement, use, and maintain it as our contact tool in our customer service center.

Alternatives Considered
Amazon AWS
Amazon Connect introduced an analytical and reporting feature, which evaluates the details and the concerns of clients. Besides, Amazon Connect clearly records all the calls, which captures the exact information which we use it in the future. The product is also as important in conducting research, as it maximizes the information that clients issue to us, for successful planning, and business budgeting.
